DESCRIPTION:Dr. Debdeep Jena is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Eng
 ineering and Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University.  H
 e joined Cornell in 2015 from the faculty at Notre Dame where he was since
  August 2003\, shortly after earning the Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer 
 Engineering from the University of California\, Santa Barbara (UCSB).  Hi
 s research and teaching interests are in the MBE growth and device applica
 tions of quantum semiconductor heterostructures (III-V nitrides\, oxides
 \, and 2D materials)\, and in charge\, heat\, and spin transport in nano
 materials.  He has authored more than 200 scientific publications includ
 ing articles in Science\, Nature Journals\, Physical Review Letters\, Elec
 tron Device Letters\, and Applied Physics Letters.  During his research c
 areer\, he has received the International MBE Young Scientist award in 201
 4\, the IBM faculty award in 2012\, the ISCS Young Scientist award in 2012
 \, the most valuable contribution awards at the Workshop for Compound Semi
 conductor Materials and Devices (WOCSEMMAD) in 2014\, 2010 and 2008\, and 
 the National Science Foundation (NSF) Career Award in 2006.  He is a Fell
 ow of the American Physical Society.\nAbstract: Nitride semiconductors ha
 ve revolutionized solid-state lighting.  They are leading the charge in e
 lectronics as high frequency amplifiers for high speed 5G communication sy
 stems\, as well as fast switching\, high-voltage electronics.  They are s
 lowly creating the materials and device platform for deep-ultraviolet phot
 onics in the future.  Even more futuristic are applications that combine 
 the excellent electronics and photonics capabilities of nitride semiconduc
 tors with epitaxial nitride metals and superconductors for quantum communi
 cation links and for making new kinds of qubits.  I will discuss the “o
 ld" and the new nitride materials and devices\, comparing and contrasting 
 them\, and argue why the nitride semiconductor revolution is just getting 
 started.\n
